Located near to the historic town centre in Alnwick, this substantial residence offers a fantastic opportunity for a buyer in search of a period property to improve and enhance, restoring the charm and character of a traditional double-fronted stone property.
Featuring a splendid central staircase, the sizeable main ground-floor reception rooms are accompanied by a modern kitchen and a home office/study. All five bedrooms are generous double rooms, and an additional first floor room offers space for storage and multi-purpose use. With a garage and workshop to the side, as well as a separate outbuilding in the rear garden, there is plenty of room for storage and scope for future development.
GROUND FLOOR
From an entrance vestibule, the hall leads off to most of the ground floor rooms and an impressive staircase to the first floor. Both main reception rooms feature stunning sash bay windows, imposing fireplaces, original cornices and picture rails. The third reception overlooks the rear garden and would make an ideal home office/study or family room. The utility room which is adjacent to the kitchen, is an ideal space for further storage.

MINING
The North East region is famous for its rich mining heritage and therefore it will be beneficial to conduct a mining search. Confirmation should be sought from a conveyancer as to its effect on the property, if any.
AGENTS NOTE
A structural Survey was carried out on the property due to the appearance of cracks relating to the extension to the side of the property. It was noted on a 2024 survey report that there has been no structural movement on the building since the cracks started to be monitored in 2018, and most likely before this date.
RISKS
Our client has advised us that the garage structure contains asbestos, and a notice on wall in the garage has been displayed.
The boarding behind the condemned gas fire in the dining room is also asbestos.
